That's exactly the point. It should be the Bucks' arena. If they want a new facility, their owners should pay for it. As should every other owner in professional sports.

From what it looks like, between theirs and Herb's investment, it seems like they are footing a significant portion of the bill. As they should.

There are endless studies on the inefficiency of taxes on publicly funded stadiums, the overstating of economic impact, etc.

I want a new arena for the city and for Marquette, but that doesn't mean it should be publicly financed.
